It's National Beer Day in Tampa Bay

It has happened again: National Beer Day has snuck up on us, and here we are without so much as a Happy National Beer Day card.

Fortunately, we're in Tampa Bay, Florida's hub for craft brewing and the state's historic home of beer.

Ever since Florida's first brewery opened in Ybor City more than a century ago, Tampa Bay has know its way around a keg.

Busch Gardens Tampa grew up around an Anheuser-Busch brewery and biergarten. In the same North Tampa neighborhood sits the Yeungling brewery, part of the oldest and largest American-owned beer-maker. Celebrate National Beer Day with a free tour of the plant.
